API Examples

The public eCrime.ch API examples repository contains small Python scripts for common reporting and integration workflows.

Support Policy

No support is available for scripts published in this GitHub repository.

The examples are provided as-is and are intended as starting points. Users are responsible for reviewing, testing, securing, adapting, scheduling, and operating them in their own environments.

Support for the eCrime.ch API itself remains subject to the applicable eCrime.ch support agreement.

Available Examples

Daily claims CSV report by email

The daily CSV email script retrieves newly listed victims, removes duplicate records, generates an Excel-friendly CSV file, and sends it through a customer-provided SMTP server.

It supports a dry-run mode that creates the CSV without sending email.

Regional monthly report generator

The regional report generator creates monthly country or multi-country reports using eCrime.ch API data.

It produces:

• HTML and Markdown reports
• an incident CSV
• a JSON summary
• SVG charts for trends, actors, and sectors

The generator has no fixed local paths and does not require Chromium.
